Abstract
A maximum acceleration identification system determines a suitable maximum acceleration for transitioning a given motion/motor system to a target position or velocity, taking the friction of the motion system into consideration. The maximum acceleration determined by the maximum acceleration identification system can then be used by the motion control system as the acceleration limit for generating motion profiles. Thus, motion profiles can be generated that are closer to the true maximum acceleration supported by the motion system without violating the mechanical and electrical constraints of the system as characterized in part by the viscous friction, resulting in a more time-optimal move. In some embodiments, the maximum acceleration identification system can automatically set the maximum acceleration of the control system's profile generator to be equal to the derived value, thereby eliminating the need for the maximum acceleration to be selected and set by the system designer.
